' k / gi Bui Success story Built In Solutions to Space Problems |nu pui a - lv Max Cleland, head of the Veterans administration" says the best way to find out what veterans think about the GI bill is to ask^ne who has tried it. In Illinois, where the regional office is kicking off a three month campaign known as Operation Boost to tell Vietnam veterans who haven't used the GI bill of its advantages, there are many thousands of such veterans who can vouch for their success because of the bill. One is James R Harris, state director for Veterans Em­ p l o y m e n t w i t h t h e U . S . Department of Labor Jim dropped out of college in January, t%3, to volunteer for the draft. Two years later he was discharged and began working with the Illinois Department of Labor, but concurrently began to use his GI bill to complete his education Jim's bosses were aware of his desire to better himself through more education and preparation As a result, in 1967 he became the first Vietnam era veteran to be appointed by the state agency as a local office veterans' employment representative, and sub­ sequently to the position of office manager. In 1972 he received his degree from Roosevelt university, and with that accomplishment he was able to apply for the job of assistant state veterans em­ ployment representative. He got the job, and became the first Vietnam era veteran to achieve such a position with the U.S. Department of Labor. Jim is acting as the state director for Veterans Em­ ployment and says that with the help of the GI bill it was much easier to get his degree and the high ranking job he now holds. In Illinois there are several thousand Vietnam veterans who have not used their GI bill. Donald Ramsey, head of the VA regional office for the state, reminded them of the, ten-year limitation on completing their education or training. Vans will be touring the state in July and August, and special efforts will be made through civic organizations and em­ ployers to encourage those veterans who can to take ad­ vantage of the GI Bill benefits before it is too late Payments are available for education, on-the-job training or specialized courses in technical schools Town-Country Tips by David Plocher, Extension Service 338 3737 338 4747 [ Kxtrnsion Office Moved - Our office, the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service for McHenry county, is now located at 224 W Judd street This is about 1 block northwest of the Woodstock City Square The following council mem­ bers, youth and leader spent a day helping move the office Earl Hughes.

Soak the soil at least 6 inches deep when you water the lawn Frequent, shallow waterings favor weed growth Extended dry periods may require more frequent watering as evidenced by wilting or "foot printing"' of the grass Model Law Everyone respects the law of gravity because it always operates uniform­ ly, impersonally and with­ out delay. -Enquirer, Cincinnati. The old "where to put if" question is an almost universal decorating prob­ lem. No matter how vou live --in a rambling house or a tiny apartment, alone or with a family, there is never enough space to accommo­ date the everyday demands of working, relaxing and storage. Although every,, problem carries the seed of its solution, it is sometimes overlooked. Custom-built furniture, which can provide personal answers to space problems, is one of those overlooked decorating solutions. It is commonly thought that built- to-order furniture has to be more expensive than ordi­ nary turniture, and becomes a permanent part of the in­ terior. "Not so!" says New York designer Ed Singer, who has built a thriving business de­ signing and supplying cus­ tom furniture. According to him, just a single custom- designed unit can replace several pieces of conven­ tional furniture and often includes other necessities such as lighting, so cost is competitive with mass-pro- duced pieces. In addition, the custom item is designed to accom­ modate the individual needs of the client within the giv­ en framework of the interior space. In this way. custom furniture becomes a personal solution to decorating prob­ lems. Because custom-built pieces integrate so well with the architecture of a space, it often appears that the furniture is permanently built into the space. "On the contrary," he says, "the greatest advantage of cus­ tom work is its ability to change with the client/' In his city apartment he puts his principles into practice. In the small bed­ room, he designed a func­ tional wall of dark-stained birch cabinetry which in­ cludes a bed, storage, drop­ out tables and lighting. The unit virtually replaces all other furniture needs, allow­ ing the room to function well and yet appear more spa­ cious than it actually isv Clothing fits comfortably in the drawers and on the ad­ justable shelves of the closed cabinets.
